sorry dont have the time on my hands to be able to call in. but im sure you were able to call in multiple times using various different sounding voices to ask for gill to be fired and hopefully formally ask to submit your own resume for both GM and coach.

Okay and what do you think is going to happen if someone on these boards were to call in and state there case for Todd Gill or Dale DeGray to be fired?

You think Dale DeGray is just going to sit there with a bit of a pause and be like, Wow you are correct we need to fire him this moment?

Nothings going to happen. Dale has to stick with his guy through thick and thin. GM"s dont just come out and say that they made a mistake."_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

hense the sarcasm.

Gill shouldnt be fired, and they wont fire him. Its more than just a coaching issue this year.

I think when you look at the underlining issues, that isn't on Todd Gill.

Goaltending, Injuries, Players missing to World Junior.

But other than Durzi, Dudas and Sushko

what players have taken steps forward this year and have developed?

I get that it takes time but almost every player in this line up (Injuries aside) has seemingly not taken a step forward.

Phillips, Zippy, Russell, friend has been lousy, still looks like the same player he was in Sept,

To me that's on TG.

While I have been on board with moving on from him, I also realize that it is fair to give the guy a fair chance with a healthy roster but I just still feel that he isn't the type of coach this team needs. He isn't nor will he ever be a good Junior coach.

Yet you found the time to come online and sarcastically snipe those who have an opinion that differs from yours. Yep, you're the epitome of "high road" yourself.

Some on here are drastically critical, some unconditionally supportive and a bunch in between. Welcome all. Just articulate the reasons for your differing opinions. We won't all agree or disagree, but that's okay. I think DD's handling of assets and his "on the fence" plan was terrible and detrimental to the success of the immediate future of this team. He served neither the best interest of his team this year or future. Pick a direction and go with it. His failure to land a goalie was immediately detrimental. Should it cost him his job? Maybe. Not my decision but I certainly don't need your approval to voice my assessment, especially short of any meaningful rebuttal one from you.

I dislike the argument or defense from people who don't agree with the critique of others by challenging them to apply for the job. It's a convenient fall back position that requires no thought. Myself (nor anyone else) need not aspire to be the President of the United States or even have the ability to do so, in order to know when Trump does or says something unbecoming of a President. Nor do I need to aspire to be a chef to know when my steak is overdone.

By your analogy we should all just shut up like lemmings unless we agree with what's happening or aspire to do it yourself. That's a submissive way to go through life. I'm sure you've never arm-chair criticized anyone's performance or called for their job... politician, judge, police, manager, CEO...without applying for that job yourself. Think hard now. You might find some hypocrisy in your logic.
